care philosophy

Conveying the message that I care is probably the most important thing. I'm trying to understand, who is this person as a human being, what makes them happy, what makes them human, and how can I protect that, how can I potentially enhance that.

biography

When it came to choosing a career, for me there was nothing like brain surgery. And for me to be able to use my mental skills, my manual skills, my techniques, and also my compassion and empathy, bring that all together in one package, that's really what drew me to the field initially and what sustained my career thus far.
